All about the FIFA World Cup：a thrilling festival of football Get ready for the spectacular sporting event with our fact-packed tournament guide.On 20 November，the FIFA World Cup tournament kicks off in Qatar.Around five billion football fans around the world are expected to watch live on TV as the best men's teams battle it out for football's ultimate prize.
Who are some of the star players to watch？
From Son Hueng-min to Gareth Bale，there will be more top talent on show than ever in this tournament.It's the first time teams can take a squad of 26 players，rather than the usual 23.Sadly，it's likely to be the last World Cup for two of the greatest players in the game：Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo .It's a chance for some fresh talent to shine，however：look out for younger players such as England's Jude Bellingham，Germany's Jamal Musiala and Pedri for Spain.
Which teams will be at the World Cup？
Thirty-two teams will compete for the trophy.For the first time ever，Qatar will take part in the tournament.As hosts，they qualified automatically but the other 31 teams had to win a number of qualifying matches.The next World Cup in 2026 will be even bigger—forty-eight teams will be in competition.
Which teams are the favourites to win？
France are the current champions and one of the favourites to win again with a star-studded squad featuring strikers Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema.Other European teams hoping to do well include England，Germany，Portugal and Spain.Argentina，Brazil and Senegal are some of the strongest nations outside Europe.Wales are playing in their first World Cup since 1958，but Scotland and Northern Ireland did not qualify.
How does the tournament work？
The 32 teams have been drawn into eight groups of four.The teams in each group play each other once in a mini-league，and the top two from each group progress to the knockout stage.Teams must win that game，then a quarter-final and a semi-final to reach the final on 18 December.As well as the World Cup trophy for the winning team，there are individual trophies for the best player（Golden Ball） and top scorer （Golden Boot）.England's Captain Harry Kane won the Golden Boot in 2018.
What conditions will players face in this World Cup？
Since the first men's World Cup in 1930，the tournament has been played in June and July.However，Qatar is so hot in the summer that the 2022 competition was moved to November and December，when it's cooler.It's still warm，though，and each of the eight stadiums has air-condjye.aiioning.It will take the equivalent of 100 bathtubs of water a day just to keep the pitches in the stadiums green.
As well as a brand-new city and airport，seven spectacular new stadiums were built for this World Cup.Look out for the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium，which glows different colours at night；the Al Janoub Stadium，which is designed to look like the sails of a traditional Qatari boat；and a stadium built from 974 recycled shipping containers.When the whistle blows for the final in one month's time at the Lusail Iconic Stadium，England's Harry Kane is one of many team captains who are dreaming big."We have to believe we can win it，"he said."What's the point of going to a World Cup and not believing that you can bring the trophy home？"

1．International students who stayed in the US as their classes moved online during the COVID may be forced to leave，following guidelines of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement published due to the pandemic（流行?。?
"You know I don't want to put my family at risk，I don't want to put myself at risk to travel during a pandemic and go back to Pakistan，and even if I could delay the program for a year，it is not certain that I will get the visa again." said a Pakistani student.
Many students say they need to be in the US for more than attending cljye.ais.As a PhD student，the library is an extremely important resource for them，although it is because of COVED that those services have been closed，which means even this advantage is gone.
"You know more than 90% of the international students who were studying the US when COVID-19 hit and college campuses were closed have to remain in the US and this creates such trouble in their lives and such uncertainty that is unreasonable." said a lady from a university.
International students staving in the United States say the new ruling has disturbed their plans to return. "I know it is a fact that when it comes to rules，guidelines，laws and stuff like that，international students are sort of treated as low-level citizens.Even I can't even use the word "citizen" to begin with because that's what they make clear we are not."
The government said that the policy speaks for itself and that online coursework is not worth a visa.So far，not any sign of change has been within sight.As students are waiting for the policy to improve，their fall programming and their future remain in limbo.
（1）Why would international students prefer to stay in the US during the pandemic？
A．They couldn't delay the program for a year.
B．They can make full use of the library resource.

2．Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.When joggers jog，they don't run on the streets.Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.
But despite this，our children are growing up naturedeprived（剝奪）.I spent my boyhood climbing trees.These days，children are robbed of the ancient freedom，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open space and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder（注意力缺陷多動癥）.Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%；those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood.One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
We need the wild world.It is essential to our wellbeing，our health and our happiness.
（1）According to the author，people enjoyto seek nature.
A．jogging on the street
B．running in the gym
C．shopping in the supermarket
D．sitting in the garden
（2）From the second paragraph，we can see that.
A．Children don't want to approach nature
B．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays
C．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children
D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction
（3）In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature？
A．Children with ADHD can be cured.
B．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.
C．Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.
D．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.
（4）what is the main idea of this passage？
A．Access to nature improves our life.
B．Nature treats children for ADHD.
C．Getting close to nature reduces crime.
D．Man can't live without natural areas.發(fā)布：2025/1/6 16:30:6組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．It is widely believed that biodiversity（生物多樣性）is promoted to save species.But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with as much as possible of the diversity they contain.
Protecting habitats（棲息地）is important for keeping biodiversity.In 2003，over 102，000 habitats covering nearly 19 million square kilometres，or 11.5% of the world's land surface，were under some form of protection.Though this is a great improvement since 1962，when just 1，000 protected habitats were listed，it is still not considered enough to stop the ecocide that is endangering the world's biodiversity.
For a number of environmentalist，protecting the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots（熱點(diǎn)地區(qū)）is critical to saving habitats and species.But many hotspots are endangered already，having lost up to three-quarters of their original plants.
The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration（遷移） into these areas.A study found that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people lived in these hotspots.Moreover，the annual population growth rate in these areas was 1.8%，higher than the global average of 1.4%.The PAI report concluded that human-related environmental changes will continue to put pressure on hotspots.Therefore，keeping biodiversity requires paying close attention to population size.
Protecting hotspots is not simply a matter of putting up fences and employing guards.The best results are achieved when local people are educated about the value of wildlife，and actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-tourism.Only then do they have a chance to see the benefits of protecting hotpots.
（1）What can we infer from paragraph 1？
A．The loss of any species can affect humans.
B．Endangered species are paid more attention to by humans.
C．Species can still survive when their ecosystems are destroyed.
D．Ecosystem protection is as important as diversity protection.
（2）What does the underlined word "ecocide" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Ecosystem protection.
B．Reduction of the number of species.
C．Serious damage to habitats.
D．Habitats protection.
（3）What's the direct cause of the terrible state of the hotspots？
A．Population growth in hotpots.
B．Migration out of these areas.
C．Global warming.
D．The global average population growth rate.
（4）What's the author's opinion on protecting the hotspots？
A．It's simple to carry out.
B．It leads to the increase of tourists.
C．It's closely connected with local people.
D．It suggests that the local people are well educated.發(fā)布：2025/1/6 16:30:6組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
